In addition, the researchers created a computational model to examine theoretically the fundamental potential for data transmission with a single chip identical to the one used in the experiment.

Thales Alenia Space announce that the VERTIGO project has concluded with the successful demonstration of a high-power optical data transmission system at the Thales laboratory in Palaiseau, France.

NASA has previously tested laser communications in space, but Artemis II will be the first crewed mission to attempt such a transmission from deep space. The technology holds the promise of ...
